Chapter 100 I missed a lot

However, Zhou Xia thought again when he transferred, if this painting was really a final work by Ni Zan, even Su Xiaoru, a fledgling rookie, could be found from the auction catalog, and those experienced old birds!

Especially those old experts who specialize in ancient Chinese calligraphy and painting can also find this work.

In this era of big auctions, everyone's information is actually similar. If you want to say who must be better than who, then there is no question of what you can see. Everyone else can see it.

Of course, if this is the case, Zhou Xia will not be convenient for Su Xiaoru to tell her, for fear of damaging her confidence, he finally established her confidence.

Su Xiaoru discovered such a painting and calligraphy work that might be "missing", and she was naturally very happy.

Without waiting for Zhou Xia to say more, she turned on the computer and searched for detailed information about Ni Zan's painting.

But this investigation doesn't matter. The more she read, the more she became confused. Finally, she couldn't help but turn to ask Zhou Xia, "Senior Brother, I found a very strange problem! This kind of thing was also auctioned at Poly's previous auction! And the price is not low, with an estimated price of about 2 million yuan, and finally sold it for a high price of more than 6 million yuan. Do you think this painting may be a fake?"

Zhou Xia replied, "I can't say this now. I don't have that great ability. Just looking at such photos can make accurate identification. Only by getting the specifics on site and seeing the real thing can you know the real result."

Such a reply obviously did not satisfy Su Xiaoru. She also murmured, "I think, what about Poly, it is more reputable than this unknown auction company. If the paintings of these two paintings are real and one painting is fake, I prefer that the one that has been auctioned before is genuine."

Zhou Xia nodded, and he felt the same way.

Su Xiaoru was feeling a little more and more depressed, and her previous excitement no longer existed. "Also, this painting was auctioned without a reserve price. Are there so many good things in this world? I think it's quite unlucky!"

Zhou Xia said, "It's boring to think so much now. Before we see the authentic ones, all possibilities exist. What we need to do now is to try to find out all the information. For example, how many pictures are there, or maybe two of them are real."

Su Xiaoru quickly looked through the information, and within a while, she became happy and said to Zhou Xia, "Senior Brother, you really have it. According to records, there are six frames in total! It is really possible that both paintings are the final works of Ni Zan."

Zhou Xia really wanted her not to be happy too early, but she couldn't say it after all. He still felt that it would be better to give her some hope and hope.

At that moment, he followed her words and said, "Hehe, I'll just say it! Xiaoru, record its number. When the preview is previewed, we will pay special attention to it. If it is indeed the authentic product, then we will invest together and take it down."

Su Xiaoru nodded repeatedly and said yes, looking forward to it beautifully. If she could really buy it at a low price, she would make a lot of money without saying that she would make a lot of money. Just keeping it for appreciation by herself is also a pleasing thing!

In addition, without saying much Zhou Xia, Su Xiaoru is paying more and more attention to these items auctioned without a reserve price.

She also found that among the things auctioned at high prices, there are still quite a possibility of high-quality products. Moreover, there are many interesting things, such as dragon robes, memorials, celebrity letters, etc., all kinds of things, including five or eight gates.

This is a big test for her who is flipping through the auction catalogue. When she comes to the scene in person, it will be even more testable.

She even fantasized about the good thing of finding bargains at a low price at the auction.

Unlike her, Zhou Xia still focuses more on those items with appraisals.

To be honest, it is not easy to find a bargain at an auction.

But as long as you have good eyesight and unique vision, you can also get good things at a low price.

This has even higher requirements for bidders. First of all, it is just the most basic skill to cut off whether the thing is genuine. There are many fake and imitations at auction. If you buy it at a high price, you can go home. Just find a corner to cry!

Secondly, you must have a clear understanding and judgment of the future price trend of the items. Maybe at the next auction, the things you bought with one million this time will rise to three to four million. If you have a bad vision, and have a high price, you will lose terrible losses.

Moreover, there are quite a lot of support at auctions. If you are not careful, you have greed in your heart, or can't stand the stimulation of others, you may cause a situation where you can't put down the sign and go all the way to the dark. Such a scene is undoubtedly the most favorable thing the auction company wants to see and the seller loves the most. Zhou Xia also hopes that the few items he gave him can attract everyone's pursuit and sell it at a good price. However, at auctions in other places, he plays the role of bidders, so naturally he hopes that the fewer people compete with him, and the lower the price, the better.

This is also human nature, and Zhou Xia doesn't think there is any problem.

At this time, like Su Xiaoru, he was studying ancient Chinese paintings, and he himself also took a fancy to several underrated works.

For example, Shi Tao's mirror heart is estimated to be only 100,000 to 150,000 before the auction.

But just from the photos in the catalogue, the style of this painting is very similar to Shi Tao, and the size is not small. If it is a genuine product, its value should be far more than this. If it can be taken at the highest valuation and Zhou Xia will definitely take action without hesitation.

Therefore, he marked it in advance and went to the scene to join in the fun to see if he could buy it.

In addition, there is a Martang painting, which is estimated to be only 10,000 to 20,000 yuan.

But Zhou Xia felt that such a painting would have to exceed 100,000 yuan.

He himself is an auction person, and he also knows that there may be strategies like their Tiandi Auction Company. He deliberately lowers the price, which is so attractive.

Although this trick is not new, it is indeed very useful.

There are many people who think about getting a bargain, but Zhou Xia himself is like this, let alone those who are less self-control than him.

Everyone goes to join in the fun of such a good and cheap thing, and they all hold it in their hearts. Maybe they can buy it at a low price, but it doesn’t matter if they can’t buy it.

In addition, Zhou Xia himself also liked several underrated works, such as Luo Pin's, whose estimated price was only between 250,000 and 350,000.

As the youngest player among the eight monsters in Yangzhou, Luo Pin's strength cannot be ignored.

But from the photos in the auction catalogue, his picture shows his extraordinary skills. He is good at figure painting and is particularly skilled in immortals and Buddhas. He is very skilled in the painting of figures and is very vivid.

The Guanyin Master in this work has kind-hearted eyes, dignified and elegant, and is portrayed vividly, making people easily related to the legendary Guanyin.

The most rare thing is that the inscription on this painting is also written in regular script. The handwriting is clear and smooth, and it is very elegant.

Such works are especially popular in the market, especially those bosses who open business and believe in Buddhism.

Zhou Xia thought that if this painting was also genuine, let alone 350,000, even one million, it would be worth it.

Zhou Xia's own strength is not enough for such a painting. If there are more competitors, it would not be difficult to easily increase the price to two million.

He thought about it and felt that Xu Yaohui could be brought in with him. He knew many big bosses. As long as these rich masters liked things, they didn't care how much money they cost. In particular, this was done by professional painters with the most comprehensive skills among the Eight Ecological Eccentrics in Yangzhou. In the East China Sea area, the audience is the widest.

He naturally had to remember it in a small notebook. As long as he could take pictures and take action quickly, it would be absolutely no problem.

Zhou Xia was also thinking about discussing with Xu Yaohui first, and even finding the funder behind him in advance. As long as he is sure that it is genuine, he can still take a photo even if the price is high. Anyway, they don’t have to pay the bill at that time, just make some intermediate fees.

There is also a copy of Cai Songyuan's antique landscape, which is estimated to be only more than 10,000 yuan. Even from the perspective of Zhou Xia's more amateur, the real value of this work should not be so low.

There are many reasons for this. It may be the strategy of the auction house, or it may be that the auction is not optimistic about this painting and thinks it may be a high imitation, so the valuation is not high.

But no matter what, Zhou Xia marked these items that may be "missed" in advance, went to the preview site, made an accurate appraisal, and then considered whether it was worth taking action. If the competition is not fierce, it can be considered. Otherwise, he would still plan to invest his limited budget in porcelain.

Zhou Xia must be too busy with these things by himself, and his main energy should be focused on the fine porcelain.

Fortunately, he has a helper, and Su Xiaoru is most enthusiastic about his notes. However, seeing how many "misses" that Zhou Xia marked, she was so happy that she checked the information involved in each work. Anyway, she also had to learn to identify it. If she could make some money while learning, she would definitely not object.
